DDS Texture Converter

DDS Texture Converter

Shout out to Niston, without whom I probably wouldn't have made this tool. Checkout their DDS Texture Scanner to help identify potentially problematic files that could cause CTDs and such.

PSA Notice

Beware that if you are converting from and to the same file extension. You MUST use different source and target folders. Otherwise when the processing starts, by necessity the tool will remove the target file before processing. Which means if the source and target is the same. And the extensions are the same. Your source file gets deleted before processing starts.

v1. 40 2026-04-23

• []Added game specific converters. This is necessary to get correct Xbox tiling format when the Xbox option is used. Or if you want to convert from an Xbox tiled file to something else. As I designed this to be used with Bethesda games this is Skyrim SE, Fallout 4, and Starfield. Those are the only ones that I am aware of that provide an XTexconv.exe.[/]

  []Added radio buttons to select which game you want to target. If converting from an Xbox file you need to specify the game target for the one you are coming from. If you want to go from Xbox SSE to Xbox FO4 you need to convert first to a non Xbox file and then convert that to the new game target.[/]

  []Added some presets for common formats based on type and game though it's not an exhaustive list and could be wrong. The full list  of formats is available choosing the "All" option next to the game target buttons. However not all formats are available for all games. See the formats txt files in the Converters folder for a list that each game converter supports.[/]

  []Added a dither checkbox which is only available when using Starfield target and BC1, BC2, BC3, and BC7. If you need to convert for SSE/FO4 Xbox and do a dither. Then convert with dither first, then convert that to the Xbox version.[/]

You may also drag files and/or folders directly to the file list area. Upon drop it will immediately start scanning and will only select files that match your prior selected input type next to the scan button. So if you drop file types that are not of that chosen type they will be ignored. The source folder path will be updated to match a common root path of the dropped items.

What Is This?

The main goal of this application is to ease mass conversion of texture files. Allowing for bulk resizing, converti
